The K75’s engine was given different valve timing and a higher compression ratio, the combustion chambers were redesigned, the intake manifold was shortened, and the exhaust system was retuned. This made the K75 even smoother than the K100. It had the same bore and stroke as the K100, and was, essentially a K100 with the front cylinder lopped off, fitted with a 120-degree crank and balance weights added to the water pump accessory shaft. The 740cc K75 engine was an inline DOHC triple with a big shaft drive. They needed to, as the K-series launch had caused a wave of outrage from BMWs long term fans, angered by the dramatic dropping of their trademark flat twins.
Developed alongside the K100 fours, the three-cylinder K75 was delayed by a year, as BMW wanted to cement the concept of K-series in the minds of the bike buying public. The K75 was in production from 1985 to 1995 and at the time of its introduction, the K75 was BMW’s least expensive motorcycle. Whether thought of as an 80s technological marvel, the ultimate cheap tourer or superlative winter hack, the mystery about the BMW K75 is why everyone doesn’t have one in the shed. And you can find one for less than the price of a Chinese 125.
